All you need to do is keep 4 Snowbolds up throughout the whole encounter(the little creatures that jump on your back and pummel you, they are summoned during Gormok) and then kill Icehowl with the 4 Snowbolds still alive. If you can manage to get a few of the snowbolds on the melee, it works a lot easier. You can just postphone killing Gormok until the Snowbolds target the character you wish to have carry one throughout the whole encounter. And, when you get to the Jormungars, it helps if you can Bloodlust on Acidmaw, as the poison can be a pain to cleanse if you are being slowed by a Snowbold.

Relatively annoying achievement if you get unlucky with RNG during the icehowl phase. Try and keep your snobolded people to be crashed on a different charge path from others, and pray that Icehowl doesn't choose them.

Soloed it as BM hunter. Let your pet tank the boss, if you dps him fast enough he will drop 4 Snobolds down and you will have to avoid their bombs during the whole encounter, just don't kill them. I didn't manage to dps him fast enough, so I had to carry 1 of them on my back all the time. Wasn't a big problem.

Soloed this as a blood dk with 540 ilvl (mixture gear, with Xuen legendary back), when the snobolds spawned, marked them, carried 1 of them on my back, used self cd-s.Use single target dps only, so u dont kill a snobold accidentally.

It took me a bit to figure out that all of the remaining snobolds drop off the first boss when he dies. You don't need to slow kill him waiting for them to appear.

One tip for Guardian/Feral Druids. Do not use Berserk. I totally forgot that this causes Mangle to hit more targets.

Circa Warlords of Draenor, this achievement is a real joke, and can be soloed! There are 3 phases to this fight, with 3 sets of opponents.

Phase 1 - Gormok the Impaler.
Phase 2 - Acidmaw and Dreadscale
Phase 3 - Icehowl

The first phase has the Snobolds that are required for the achievement. There are 4, and they sit on Gormok's back. Normally, one of these Snobolds would jump on your back partway through Gormok's phase, and would remain there, slowing you and periodically stunning you.

With current levels of DPS, you kill Gormok in no time. As such, all 4 Snobolds drop to the floor and stand there. NOTE that you DO NOT need one on your back to get this achievement!

It's an easy matter to DPS the other bosses and get the easy achievement, assuming you use no AoE and do not damage the Snobolds in any way. On that note, double check any trinkets and talents you may have that would do splash damage to ensure you do not inadvertently kill them.

Making this post for Legions.

I think it might be bugged in the players benefit. If you kill Gormok fast enough when he spawns, 4 Snobolds will spawn, but can't be attacked. They will stay up as you kill Acidmaw and Icehowl.

Easy achivement if it's on your to do list.
